PURPOSE: To evaluate the incidence of epithelial ingrowth (EI) following femtosecond LASIK (f-LASIK) flap relift.
METHODS: This retrospective case series enrolled patients who underwent post-refractive enhancement surgery at a single independent outpatient health facility in Canada. Patients 18 years or older who underwent refractive enhancement surgery between July 2021 and December 2022 were eligible. We excluded patients with a history of cataract or refractive lens exchange surgery. Follow-ups were conducted at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year postoperatively. The primary outcome was the incidence of EI following f-LASIK flap relifts. Secondary outcomes included other complications and visual outcomes 12 months postoperatively.
RESULTS: Among the 103 included eyes, EI was reported in 41% of patients at some point in the follow-up period, with most EI present at one month and not requiring treatment. EI was three times less likely to develop if the enhancement was performed within one year of the original surgery (OR 0.31, P=0.023), and was 5-6 times more likely to develop if it was performed after three years (OR=0.17, P<0.001). Successful treatment of EI by flap lift with sutures (n=2) and Nd:YAG laser (n=2) was performed in 4 eyes.
CONCLUSIONS: Only a small number (n=4) of EI post-flap lifts required treatment, and the procedure generally provided excellent long-term visual outcomes. Thus, f-LASIK flap lift is a safe option for refractive enhancement, even several years following the original surgery.
